One for KMST Boys

[wayne gosley]

Hi Guys,
I wonder if any of the KMSt boys won this one on german ebay a few days ago, I placed a conservative unsuccessful bid,(due to my declining interest in collecting of late). Had my interest still been strong, I would have went higher then the winning bid, as I believe it a rarer version of the KMST range. I actually thought it would go much higher than the winning bid. I note the ST appears to be a little out of alignment, which is interesting.?
Hope your Easter was great.
Kind regards
Wayne

Interesting cross
If I would have seen it, I would probably have bid on it.

I've never seen one with that style of screwback before but considering
the different styles attachments from this maker, I don't have any problem
with it. as for the KM-ST not being aligned. That is not an issue. I have
seen others where they are slight mis-aligned as well.

I did bid, but were nowhere near 881e...

I was watching it too and wasnt surprised with the outcome.

I am guessing it might be one of their earliest production pieces, being a single post screw,(simple) and simple double marked 800 disc, no DRGM mark required, being a simple design common design, or a special order for a customer.?
Greg, not a issue of the misalignment for me either, I mentioned it only that misalignment is much greater than the other variations we have seen. With our Australian exchange rate being 60 cents to the Euro, it made it a $1800 aud cost. At 881 euro it is in line with the asking price of the other scarcer kmst crosses.
I have not seen another type of this construction, which makes it rare in the kmst family line up, imo.
Cheers

$1800. That's about 3 times what I would pay for it.

Hello Wayne,

Rare simple designed variation indeed. Raised KMST hallmark, no DRGM as you stated. Very interesting type I have not seen either but, more than I would pay too. Thanks for showing!

Regards

Hi Greg,
Yes our exchange rate is very poor, and with my interest not as strong as it use to be in collecting, $1800 is better in my pocket. Of course postage and custom tax is included in the $1800.
Cheers
